Acceptance Is Not Respect
Ramleh's Gary Mundy has been rather prolific in recent years with his solo Kleistwahr
project. As with his main concern, there's a deep-seated interest in
pushing the parameters where certain sonics can fall into a seismic
vortex of sheer overload yet remain tethered to a knowing sensibility
where greater power can be derived from simply holding back. Since the
incredible This World Is Not My Home album in 2014 Kleistwahr has
embarked on a single-handed mission to not only take such possi…
Down But Defiant Yet
Collecting two songs from the long out-of-print, ultra-limited 10" lathe-cut released in spring 2017 on New Zealand Independent Woman Records, "Broken and Beaten in 5/8 Time Part 1. Beaten" and "Broken and Beaten in 5/8 Time Part 2. Broken", plus two previously unreleased tracks exclusive to this release. Generally more refined than previous Kleistwahr work, the pieces here catch Gary Mundy (also of Ramleh and Broken Flag Records) furrowing his distinct and recognizable take on a kind of contemp…
Slaves
2016 Edition. These past few years have been a busy hive of activity for Sutcliffe Jugend with the release of some really intriguing albums and captivating live aktions. It was during this period that saw the band develop and progress into a more mature sound and style. Through the creative implementation of complex structures and new sound elements, they have evolved into genre defying styles, while still not losing elements of the old PE strain of harshness of sound and lyrics. It was also dur…

From their progressive redevelopments of careful structured organic ele…
Cloîtrez Et Tuez Vous Tous
2017 Edition. With Cloitrez Et Tuez Vous Tous, Vomir aims to return to the most basic essence regarding his identity as a Harsh Noise Wall practitioner. This single full length track of more than one hour is the final result of that depurating mindset; focusing on achieving the true bone of his signature sound, while continuing to devastate all ears with a raw and unmovable wall of static. Still as relentless, the boundaries of its aesthetics get pushed further and deeper by the storm of distort…

Live In London In The Early Sixties
The early mythical Soft Machine featuring the trio line up of Kevin Ayers, Mike Ratledge and Robert Wyatt, captured live in the full swinging London atmosphere. These were the band's psychedelic days, when their original magic potion was composed of unconventional songs and freaky organ, bass and drums improvisations. The group was literally exploding throughout the London club scene. One of the most innovative and influential sounds of that musically and culturally fertile era

Hassan's Walk
Don’t let the date fool you, released back in 1983 this modal to slightly free jazz outfit from California takes you on a journey back to the late 60s and very early 70s, into the spiritual realms of greats like John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, John McLaughlin and Miles Davis among others. A soul jazz treasure from the LA scene of the early 80s – a fantastic record that I rank with the best Strata East sides of the time! The group's led by alto saxophonist Dadisi Komolafe, and features vibes by R…
Desert Fairy Princess
Adele Sebastian was an Afro American jazz flutist and singer, active from the early 70s (when she was still a teenager) until her untimely death at the age of 27 (!) in 1983 from a kidney failure. In fact she had been depending on monthly dialysis to stay alive for years. She lived through and for the music and you can hear it on her only solo album “Desert Fairy Princess” which was first issued in 1981.
The mostly acoustic instrumentation brings a very natural and therefore rather retrospectiv…

Schleissen 1
Emotional Response's 1st Schleißen volume pairs a grand expanse of ecstatic drone by Serbian former factory worker Abul Mogard, with the pulsating, hyaline patterns of Harmonious Thelonious. Mogard's 'Dizziness That Shakes Rivers And Mountains' unfurls 18 minutes of yearning synth drone conducted with a glacial patience and romantic intent that's hard to ignore, especially if you've ever fallen for the frayed, somnambulant projections of Leyland Kirby or William Basinski. By contrast, the two H…
